Suspending baseball...

[B.A.R.]

New deal will include NL DH?

 

[B.A.R.]

NM on my question..

This will be pretty funny if they start before NBA and NHL.

They should have started already. Really they all should have but I only care about baseball and hockey.

So they are getting full pro rated ?

owners did all this and basically agreed to what players wanted all along ?

guess they aren’t able to file grievance, which is a win for owners I think

Public pressure was really starting to turn on owners in the past week

I know the diehards aren’t huge fans of this really short season, but this could be pretty exciting

I dont know

Are they still doing the 4 sites thing ?

I don't think so.

I'm not positive though. The last I saw was home stadiums.

Question..

Is this still based in two bubbles?

For some reason I thought they decided home parks would be fine.

Pretty sure the games would be at the home teams parks.

Correct. Think that was one of the first things they decided on.

At this rate we can start in November and have a 30 game season in the snow. Screw both sides for this going on this long.

You know once it actually gets finished the focus goes back to Covid.

Just cancel it...this bickering is really killing the sport and people's perception of it. Major black eye for mlb already...because it really doesn't have very much to do with covid..it's greed.

To boot, it has probably the worst commissioner in my lifetime of any pro sport.

 

[CPA-hole]

Latest offer rejected. Sets up now the commish can implement his BS 50 or whatever game season, then in turn the players will file a grievance. Great job to both sides. Go away and go F yourselves.

 

[brewers888]

The players turned down the 60 game season with full pay. Fuck them and I hope the owners just cancel the season instead of this back and forth thats going nowhere.

If this is the final proposal, then do they play with replacement players like 1987 or whatever year that was?

No replacement players. The union thinks they can win a grievance but I don't see how. The owners offered the full pro rated pay for 60 games so I have no clue what the players want.

This is bizarre.... It doesn't even have to do with Covid-19 precautions either, which is what this was all about in the first place.

It never had anything to do with the virus considering the players have been trying to get the league to agree with more games not less.

Right, it's just crazy to me at the end of the day they can't agree on money or games. It seems so simple, yet it is so complicated for them.

Keep in mind that according to Jason Mackey with the Athletic, the safety protocols for training camps and a season of games are still under negotiations as well. Three months and there is literally nothing in place yet.

Unreal. Social media is saying it's back but not sure on the logistics.

 

[Ryno14]

60 game season starting July 29. Spring training starts in 7 days.
